#1504 (#186)

to those that i write

but lose before they’re written -

wait for me beyond

#1503 (#185)

when the night moves fast

and you know that you've slept well

yet cannot grow light

*

The feeling of heaviness after what should have been a decent night’s sleep but it felt like it went by too quickly, completely dreamless, and somehow without relaxation, and now you can’t shake that weighty feeling that comes from a lack of sleep.

#1502

deep breath and new strength,

mountains, river, waterfall,

green hills, forests, sky

From words on page 170 of The Magician's Nephew by C.S.Lewis (HarperCollins, 1955/2009).

#1501 (#184)

at the edge of things

in the liminal spaces

we find space to talk

#1500

youth falls asleep and

lilac petals are scattered

across battlefields

Written for the Tricycle February 2024 May Challenge using the Spring season word, lilac, but was not entered.

i was once tallest

these young ones all look down

as i used to do

#1498 (#182)

it looks down on us

through its awesome golden crust -

pasty in the sky
